"Are you free tonight?" Will asked her instead of answering her question.
Elisa wrinkled her brows. "Not tonight."
"Tomorrow?"
Elisa thought about Grandma and said, "Tomorrow might not work either. Must we meet to talk about it? I have something crucial to deal with for now, and I might not be able to leave."
After all… the current matter with Grandma was essential. She had passed all her partnerships to James.
"What are you doing?" Will still didn't talk about the specifics.
Elisa paused and didn't answer. She asked, "What do you want to talk to me about? Is it about the jewel partnership this time?"
"Yes and no. I can't tell you properly over the phone, so I'll wait for you. It's not extremely urgent. You can look for me when you have the time. Within a week will be fine."
Elisa thought about it and replied, "Alright."
"Mm. Remember to rest if you're too tired these days. Let me know any time if you need anything." Will's voice was always gentle, and he spoke with particular ease.
Elisa smiled and said, "Thanks, but it's fine. I can deal with it."
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat when she thought of the scene with Gareth. She… didn't even feel like talking to Will anymore.
She paused before saying, "I have something to do. Is there anything else?"
"Ah…" Will sighed in exasperation. "I just wanted to hear more of your voice. But if you have something to do, go ahead."
Elisa's gaze froze, and she didn't say anything. She smiled and said, "Alright."
She ended the call after that. She didn't want to talk to Will anymore.
